One of the most common questions about Invisalign treatment is, “How much does Invisalign cost?” There is no one-size-fits-all answer, but certain factors affect the overall price of this cosmetic dentistry treatment. The certified Invisalign providers at Downtown Dental in Los Angeles are prepared to walk you through the finer points of Invisalign and help make it suitable for your budget.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
There is a range in Invisalign cost, usually between $3,000 and $7,000. Every patient is different, and several factors affect the overall price:
- Treatment complexity: Some people need all their teeth aligned, some need gaps closed, and some need a few crooked teeth turned in the right direction. The more complex a case, the more trays needed to complete the treatment, the more visits to your dentist, and the higher the cost
- Length of treatment time: Your Los Angeles Invisalign provider creates your entire Invisalign treatment plan before you even have any aligners on your teeth. You will know right then how long treatment will take. The more time it takes to straighten out your smile, the longer treatment and cost will be
- Compliance: Invisalign treatment is successful when the patient wears their trays as instructed daily and takes care of their aligners. If you regularly break, lose, or damage your trays, a few replacement aligners are built into your treatment, but repetitive problems will incur additional costs if you want to keep treatment on track
- Age: Invisalign is for adults, and Invisalign Teen is for adolescents. This treatment works the same for every patient, and the rules are the same, but teenagers also have tooth eruption tabs and wear indicators added to their trays, which can impact Invisalign costs
Invisalign Cost Is All Inclusive
Your Invisalign plan and costs are laid out from the start. What is part of the comprehensive and all-inclusive Invisalign cost? Quite a bit:
- Aligners
- Attachments
- Cases
- Dental exams
- Dental lab work
- Digital imaging
- Impressions
- Office visits
- Retainers
- X-rays
Invisalign Is a Worthwhile Investment
Looking at Invisalign costs, it can seem like a daunting financial undertaking. If you look at this smile makeover as an investment in your oral health, appearance, confidence, and well-being, the price of the treatment is well worth it. Here are just some of the many benefits of Invisalign:
- Healthy dental future: Straight teeth are easier to clean, which makes them healthier teeth, especially if you have a good oral health care routine and see your dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings. Aligned teeth are also less susceptible to teeth grinding, TMJ problems, and their negative side effects
- Discreet: For anyone who wants to improve their smile but without drawing attention to themselves, Invisalign is the route to take. The trays are slim, clear, smooth, and fit snugly against your teeth, so no one will notice them
- Speedy: Anyone considering conventional orthodontic treatment knows that it takes about two years for teeth to get into alignment. Invisalign cuts that time in half and sometimes requires less than a year to transform your teeth
- Freedom: Invisalign must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day, but you can remove the trays when needed – and that kind of freedom is amazing. People with brackets and wires don’t get to take a break from their orthodontics, but Invisalign patients do. That alone is worth the Invisalign cost
